Struggling

Wow, what a weekend this past weekend was. It was basically an epic lesson in how to fail. It started with some major Olympics failures, first with the tragic death of a Luger that honestly could and should have been avoided, along with an Olympic cauldron lighting fail. The failing continued right on into the NBA all-star festivities that to be quite honest left so much to be desired. It all wrapped up with a pot hole showing up out of nowhere in the middle of the Daytona 500. Hopefully you were able to manage your real life in such a way as to avoid personal failures as well.

Although this weekend was full of sporting failures, my morning today was filled with movie watching. I started the day off with watching the newest Disney channel original movie called Starstruck. I would call this movie easily missable. It basically follows the exact type of storyline as High School Musical without all the excellent singing and acting. I cannot fully criticize this movie, because I was unable to watch the entire thing due to the fact that my recording ended short and I missed about the last ten minutes or so, so I will have to attempt to catch the ending this evening. The next film that I devoured is called In the Electric Mist, starring Tommy Lee Jones as a police detective in post Katrina New Orleans. It was a pretty good mystery/almost thriller flick, but had some problems with some of the halucination scenes that they used to try and help further the story, but I would say that this movie is worth a look if you can find it. I finished up the movie watching for the day with Aliens in the Attic. Now, this is definitely a little bit of a goofy movie, but definitely worth while. It kept me interested and the little aliens supply some good moments along with the actual people in the film. Its worth a look when you are in the mood for some mindless fun.

Some of you no doubt are aware that today is Presidents Day. This day really doesnt mean much to me, and that is totally my fault. Or, perhaps it is the fault of all of America. I really do not know of anyone who actually celebrates Presidents Day in the way that it probably should be. However, I have just the thing that can help you to celebrate this nations first President. Check out this video on Youtube and enjoy yourself some Presidents Day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRom1Rz8OA
